[W126 Coupe] Hood pad replacement

[Paul Samarin]

Yikes...good thing I came back for one last read b/4 I started spraying 
the 3m stuff around!  :  )

I've got all I think I need, so I'll get started scraping and then wait 
for another pair of hands b/4 I attach the new one.

Thanks everyone...wish me good luck.  Sure am looking forward to a 
celebratory, rather than a conciliatory, Redhook ESB.
